Example 1: A natural number is also a whole number. [ True or False ]

The set of whole numbers includes the number zero and all natural numbers. This is a true statement.

Example 2: Any integer is a whole number. [ True or False ]

The set of integers is composed of the number zero, natural numbers, and the "negatives" of natural numbers. That means some integers are whole numbers, but not all.

For instance, −2 is an integer but not a whole number. This statement is false.

Example 3: Every rational number is also an integer. [ True or False ]

The word "every" means "all". Can you think of a rational number that is not an integer? You only need one counterexample to show that this statement is false.

The fraction is an example of a rational number but not an integer. So this statement is false.

Example 4: Every integer is a rational number. [ True or False ]

This is true because every integer can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1.

Example 5: Every natural number is a whole number, integer, and a rational number. [True or False]

Reviewing the descriptions above, natural numbers are found within the sets of whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers. That makes it a true statement.

We can also use the diagram of funnels above to help us answer this question. If we pour water into the "funnel of natural numbers", the water should also flow through all the funnels below it. Thus, passing through the funnels of the whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.

Example 6: Every whole number is a natural number, integer, and a rational number. [True or False]

Using the same "funnel" analogy; if we pour some liquid into the whole numbers' funnel, it should pass through the funnels of integers and rational numbers as it makes its way down. Since the natural numbers' funnel is above the set of whole numbers where we started, we cannot include this funnel in the group.

It is a false statement since whole numbers belong to the sets of integers and rational numbers, but not to the set of natural numbers.

Example 7: Classify the number zero (0).

Definitely not a natural number but it is a whole, an integer, a rational, and a real number. It may not be obvious that zero is also a rational number. However, writing it as a fraction with a nonzero denominator would show that it is.

Example 8: Classify the number .

This is a natural or counting number, a whole number, and an integer. Since we can write it as a fraction with a denominator of 1,

this makes it also a rational number. And of course, this is a real number.

Example 9: Classify the number .

The given decimal number terminates and so we can write it as a fraction which is a characteristic of a rational number. This number is also a real number.

Example 10: Classify the number .

We can rewrite this mixed fraction as a proper fraction so that it is clear that we have a ratio of two integers.

This number is a rational and real number.

Example 11: Classify the number

The decimal number is non-terminating and non-repeating which makes this number irrational. Of course, any irrational number is also a real number.

Example 12: Classify the number

Since the decimal is repeating this makes it a rational number. Any rational number is also a real number.

Example 13: Classify the number .

This is an irrational number because when written in decimal form, it is non-terminating and non-repeating. This is also a real number.

Example 14: Classify the number .

First, we need to simplify this radical expression which gives us . The number is an integer, a rational number, and a real number.

Example 15: Classify the number

The decimal number is nonterminating, however, the number 123 after the decimal number keeps on repeating. We can rewrite the decimal number with a "bar" on top of the repeating numbers.

This makes it a rational number. Don't forget, it is also a real number.
